Scouting Report:
Lanky right-hander with a projectable
frame. Room to pack on more weight. Fastball sits between 93-95 mph and
tops out at 96 mph. Mostly straight at higher velocities, but can show late life and finish when throwing downhill.
Tends to leave the ball up in the zone. Below-average command and control
of fastball. Unable to spot pitch consistently. Also features a 74-76 mph
curveball and an 83-84 mph changeup. Curve has plus potential, but it's
inconsistent in creating hard snap. Can show deep 12/6 break through the
strike zone at times. Does not trust throwing it. Changeup grades as his
best offering. Fades arm-side with drop when throwing from an over-the-top
arm slot. Below-average command of secondary stuff. Delivery is rigid and
stiff. Struggles to consistently repeat motion and hold release point due
to jerky nature of arm action behind his back. Delivery needs considerable
refinement to enhance command of arsenal, crispness of offerings, and take
stress off his arm. Slow to home plate. Competitive and focused, but
reserved on the mound. Profiles as a reliever in higher levels.
